Today my sister is celebrating her birthday. I wish she could spend the day doing everything fun and nice for herself to pamper her body and relax the mind. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful way to start the next year of your life?
It is unfortunate that she doesn’t have that luxury, what with the economic times we are all in plus the fact that her hubby was hurt in a car wreck all most two years ago and can’t work until he recovers. So it was off to work she goes, and her dinner plans include Chinese take out that she picks up on her way home from work. So at least she doesn’t have to cook.
Sis – I love you and hope you manage to have a happy and stress free day on your birthday!
My sister recently told me that she had read some where that if you use 100% white distilled vinegar in place of your liquid fabric softener that it does the same thing as what the costly liquid softeners do, and at a much lower cost. I know it works because I gave it a try at her house, but I have tried it a few times here at my home and for some crazy reason it isn’t giving my clothes the same effect, what’s up with that?
Today I am cooking four nice pork chops (boneless & lean) along with 2 cans of candid yams and a couple sliced apples with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar in my crock pot. I’m browning the pork chops as I type in the oven before putting them in the crock pot, I like that texture much better and I’m always concerned that I’m going to serve someone an under cooked piece of chicken or pork, so I tend to over cook them both, but the family still enjoys them all, along with me. The house is going to smell great!
My sister is putting her youngest son through college and has learned so much about student loans (along with numerous other financial assistance) in the process, her oldest son is also going to a different college on and off and has added those experiences to add to her repertoire. Since both sons will be attending various colleges for several more years to come, she is always on the lookout for new and different avenues to take and she tells me there is a lot out there for people to learn if they take the time, as she has, and things are always changing year to year.While on the Internet the other evening I stumbled onto a site by the name creditloan.com and they have a section on student loans that I took the time to briefly review, I just to try and keep myself up to date with things like that when I know someone that I know is experiencing these issues. I just like to educate myself a bit so that I can carry on some type of conversation with them and know something of the subject of which I am speaking. I have always been like that, I just like to research things and the Internet has made it so much easier, my sister is awesome at researching things so I guess it just runs in the family more I think about it, all my siblings are that way, in their own way.
Anyway, I did manage to get up to date on some the things that go along with the student loan process these days. I myself attended a few years of college, and God knows that was a long time ago, but I had to work my way through it with out the aid of student loans so this is something that I have not had the experience of dealing with such things. I mean the basic concepts are still the same through out the years, but I do believe that they have made it much easier for folks that have no history record yet being so young and all, or have already messed up their credit ratings and therefor have a more difficult time in receiving financial aid or if they do they do pay the price for it with a higher interest rate or a larger down payment is required. But they can manage to can a loan and that is what counts.
I think that I will email my sister the link to this site in case this may have some useful information that she could use in her never ending search for assistance in getting both of her sons a college degree which she has worked so hard in doing a great job so far, I have to give her credit for that!
One subject that I am going to discuss with my mother and my sister is the issue of colon cleansing, I am hearing more and more about it and I believe that they have tried it and I what to hear the stories and opinion before I go and purchase anything. I have been reading up some on the subject and have talked to a few people here and there and they all swear that a good Colon Cleanse can make a big difference in a lot of areas that I am struggling in, like sleep issues, no energy, stomach aches, back aches, foul breath and a lot of this things I’m blaming on menopause. But I’m thinking that if I can do something about these things that are driving me crazy with a good cleansing product, like Oxy-Powder, I’m thinking it would be worth it. If I do decide to buy some I will do it on-line, that is a sure bet.
